But let's back up a little. In May of 2018, Pusha revealed on his track "The Story of Adidon" that Drake has a child, whom Pusha alleged Drake was “hiding” from the world. (Drake would go on to talk about his own child on his album Scorpion later in 2018.) West is a producer on Pusha’s album Daytona, and Drake allegedly believes that West told Pusha about his baby in the first place.

Then, West dropped his 2018 album Ye just weeks before Drake's Scorpion, raising eye brows as the feud escalated. The final straw appears to have been rumors surrounding a track Drake had been sitting on in which he raps about an alleged affair with West’s wife.

With all this adding up, West has finally aired his side of the dirty laundry to the public.

On Thursday, West shared a text from a person named Free, which states that Drake sent a “clearance request” to West for his own track “Say What’s Real.” (Drake’s song features a sample of West’s “Say You Will.”)

“It’s all love bro bro but don’t play with me. You stay too close to be playing all these industry games bro," West wrote, before adding: "I would never intentionally try to hurt you bro I never even heard none of the diss records. That ain’t my MO never did a diss record.”

Later on that night, and into the early morning, Kim Kardashian logged on and shared her two cents on the matter. The star, unsurprisingly, sounded off in defense of West, claiming that there would be no Drake with Ye.

@drake Never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake.

In the end, Kardashian was the one to end things (sort of) by writing a short and sweet ode to West.

My husband is the most brilliant person, the most genius person that I know. He has broken so many boundaries, everything from music, stage design, fashion and culture and will continue to change the world.
